Skinny scarf!

A skinny scarf made with reclaimed yarn..


A few reclaimed yarn hats

An experiment with the ProvoCraft Kniftly Knitter loom using reclaimed yarn from a hideous Christmas sweater..



Here's one from a while ago - I can't stand the idea of throwing anything away (even scraps) so I found this Accidental Hat pattern by Laughing Purple Goldfish Designs..


Granny Square WIP

Just some simple grannie that I am putting together when my brain is busy doing other things.. I have a pile of these that will hopefully turn into a real-live blanket someday. I like the bright colors on the black..

A girly shelf redo

The girls' room needed girly-ing. We made due. We started with one of those cheapish wooden shelves that you buy from big box discount stores:
 
(This particular model came with girl-heads attached.)
(No, that's a lie.)

And ended up with a creation fit for princesses:
This has been a perfect addition to their girly bedroom - I used a vintage wrapping paper for the back (where you see the pink and yellow design) and Zero VOC paint for the rest. I did have to come back later and seal the paper a bit better, but I think it will hold up well - even under the abuse of an 8 and 9 year old!

Because everything is about my boobs now.


The results came back on Monday and SURPRISE! The ultrasound tech never even looked at or clicked a picture of anything on the left side.
They said the concern in the right side was a 5mm nodule in a lymph node with non-cancerous characteristics and ‘nothing to be concerned about’ unless it changes. I’m not sure what that means – I have would have no way of knowing if it changes since I never knew it was there to begin with..
Tomorrow morning at 9:30, I’ll start the whole thing over again at a different facility so as not to run into the same pleasant ultrasound tech as last time.. and my boobs have never been happier. No really.
